Milngavie is a small town on the northern fringe of Glasgow in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland, sitting where the Allander Water cuts through gentle, wooded ground. It is best known as the traditional starting point of the long-distance West Highland Way, and lies close to Mugdock Country Park with views towards the Campsie Fells, so its location makes it a popular base for walkers and day visitors.
Historically the town grew in the 19th century with mills and the railway, and today it has a largely commuter demographic with a busy high street of independent shops, regular community events and farmers' markets. The mix of Victorian and Edwardian streets, nearby green space and good local schools gives Milngavie a reputation as a pleasant, family‑oriented town with a steady trickle of outdoor-focused tourism.
